batch file to open multiple command prompts and execute the same task

Question

I want a batch script which opens up multiple command prompt on a single click and runs the same command over and over again . i have written a below code which only opens an single command prompt and stops there .is there a way to do the same.

   for /l %%x in (1, 1, 5) do (
    start cmd /c 
    cd / && dir /s
   )

   for /l %%x in (1, 1, 5) do (
    start cmd /c "cd / && dir /s && pause"
   )

It opens different command prompts ...

it should be start cmd /c "cd \ & dir /s & pause" so that newbies aren't confused.
